About Us

Founded in late 2022, Origin Voices is a new choral group based in Cardiff, Wales. Comprised of emerging choral singers, Origin Voices aims to provide a platform to enter the professional choral world.
Our mission is to bring new exciting choral music to a wider audience, showcasing both the established canon of choral music while performing works by lesser known living composers. We are always interested in performing and commissioning new works.
We are delighted to be under the professional guidance of Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts
